“On two terrible nights in December 1940, Germany rained bombs down on Sheffield,” says Neil Anderson, author of ‘Sheffield’s Date with Hitler.’

“Hundreds were killed, thousands injured, and ten per cent of the city left homeless.

“Until ten years ago, the story of the Sheffield Blitz was largely untold, but it’s important that people know what happened here, and that nothing like it is ever allowed to happen again.”

Here, Neil explores the Sheffield Blitz in detail, re-telling many first-hand accounts and stories he gathered during interviews for his book, written to mark the 70th anniversary.
